Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to and respected. The counsellor follows the client’s pace and helps them make sense of feelings, which can be useful for grief, emptiness, or attachment worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and replacing them with practical experiments and new routines to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping, helpful for people who struggle with highs and lows or dissociation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods together. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls make conversation feel close to an in-person meeting, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging work for quick check-ins, written reflections, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access therapy around work, family rhythms, or travel, and make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions.
